System Resources: Continuing Research, Design and Strategy on How to Organize and Resource the System

System Capitalization Element:

- A sustainably resourced community development system with public and private sources and some systemic revenue streams
2021 Structure and Process
- The BECDD Steering Committee is participating in a process with the CDAD Board, of embedding and integrating its work into CDAD as its institutional host.
- The BECDD System Capitalization Task Force — including its “Funders Discussion Group” — is working closely with, and reporting to, the Steering Committee on creating a 10-year strategy to sustainably resource the system
- The Task Force is sponsoring a series of “Alignment Forums” in 2021, to bring stakeholders together to look at the various elements of community development and how funding can be better aligned for more impact.

- The 5 BECDD Projects – each associated with one or more of the System Elements – continue to move forward in various stages of design and pilot testing.
- Most of these BECDD Projects Teams have engaged with a stakeholder group (a workgroup, a task force, focus groups), to assure that BECDD stakeholders remain engaged and influential in shaping these projects.
- Together, the key BECDD stakeholders are working together to identify resources to invest in all seven elements of this coordinated system – not just separate projects – to have a real impact on all Detroit neighborhoods.
- By the end of 2022, we hope that the building of the system – including all seven elements – will be finished, with a seamless community development system that impacts all of Detroits neighborhoods.
